Linux Foundation Appoints Director of China Operations

Linux veteran Cliff Miller brings Asia-Pacific market expertise to bridge community and industry in China

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11, 2010 — The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced it has appointed Cliff Miller as its new Director of China Operations. Miller will work with companies and community members in the country to help advance strategic initiatives such as MeeGo and to facilitate collaboration with exclusive events, training workshops and technical workgroups.

“China represents an important part of the Linux community,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director, The Linux Foundation. “Chinese companies and Linux developers are helping build some of tomorrow’s most innovative technologies and are running Linux in enterprises across the country. Cliff will help bring together Linux stakeholders in China to accelerate Linux work.”

A recent study from Springboard Research and Spiceworks reported that Linux server adoption among small and midsize businesses (SMBs) is 25 percent higher in the Asia-Pacific region and growing faster than the worldwide average. Miller will help harness this momentum and bring stakeholders together to advance the platform in China.

“Before long, there will be over a billion people in China connecting with each other via mobile phones, PCs and other devices,” said Cliff Miller, Director of China Operations for The Linux Foundation. “And what better way to make their experience quick, reliable and fun than to use Linux? I’m eager to enable broader Linux use through promoting give-and-take among Chinese developers, consumers and companies.”

Miller co-founded TurboLinux in 1992, bringing commercial Linux to Japan and China in the 1990s. He also co-founded Mountain View Data in 2000, which provided Linux-based data storage software and server provisioning software to the enterprise. He has served as Director of Linux International and is the author of “The Linux Revolution” (Softbank Publishing 1999). Miller negotiated some of the industry’s first commercial Linux bundling deals with Dell, HP, IBM, NEC, Panasonic, Oracle and Sybase, among others. Today, Miller also works as Chief Strategy Officer at DeviceVM.

Taiwan-based Alex Lu will bring together consumer device makers and Linux developers to advance the platform for next-generation computing

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11, 2010 — The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced it has appointed Alex Lu as its new Director of Taiwan Operations. Lu will use his experience working with consumer device makers in Taiwan to advance collaboration on strategic mobile initiative such as MeeGo.

“The global movement towards ubiquitous mobile computing would not be taking place if it weren’t for the people and companies in Taiwan,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director, The Linux Foundation. “New competitive pressures and widening market opportunities are leading Taiwanese companies to adopt Linux even more, and there is no one more naturally suited to facilitate collaboration on Linux in Taiwan than Alex Lu.”

With initiatives such as Android and MeeGo, analyst estimates indicate that Linux is the fastest-growing platform for mobile computing – on phones, laptops, MIDs, infotainment devices, and more. Taiwan, in particular, is a hotbed for mobile and embedded development, and there are a variety of companies in the country that today are increasing their participation in the Linux development community and initiatives such as MeeGo. Lu’s work will help focus efforts and advance Linux on PCs as well as on for mobile and embedded computing.

“Taiwan may be a small island but it packs a global punch when it comes to computer and electronics manufacturing,” said Alex Lu, Director of Taiwan Operations for The Linux Foundation. “There is a great opportunity to share technical expertise and marketing power between the Linux development community and Taiwan companies. I’m looking forward to helping bring together these important stakeholders to advance Linux.”

Lu’s career includes eight years at Applied Materials and a role as Vice President of Finance for the Monte Jade Science and Technology Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combining high tech expertise from the Bay area and Asia. Lu is also a co-founder at DeviceVM and, as the senior vice president of Business Development, continues to close worldwide contracts with leading OEMs (Acer, ASUS, Lenovo, LG and Sony, among others), leading Linux to tens of millions of netbooks, notebooks and desktops. Lu received his BS in Chemical Engineering from Tunghai University, Taiwan and MBA from Drexel University.

Managed Hosting Provider ServInt Joins Linux Foundation

Pioneer in web hosting joins Linux Foundation to advance virtualization technologies that deliver “greener” IT

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4, 2010 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced that managed hosting provider ServInt is its newest member.

ServInt is joining The Linux Foundation to take advantage of exclusive networking events and online and face-to-face workgroup collaboration on Virtualization and Green Linux.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, data centers accounted for 1.5 percent of American energy consumption in 2006; that number is expected to double by next year (2011). By implementing a virtualization strategy that revolves around Linux, IT hosting providers like ServInt are able to help minimize that consumption and reduce overall costs for customers.
